please take a look at my first animated shortfilm. It took me a year to finish at the University of Arts and Design in Kassel, Germany.

Synopsis:
A man is being disturbed by strange noises. In order to go to sleep he tries to eliminate them. Will he finally get some rest?

well, i liked it actually! cool idea, and i liked the eyes a lot, really expressive!

i thought the piece was a bit dark and bland. but i suppose that was all part of the atmosphere.

nice work.

Hi schmiddl,
I really like the idea for your movie (and the movie itself) a lot. the only thing that did not work for me was the lighting. i know that you are trying to have the dark contrasty lighting but few times it's just did not make sense. For example, the opening shot has a beam of light that hits the floor and partially the figure,and seems like the scene would have a bit more bounce light. then the wall behind the figure is pitch black, but the corner is light. my initial reaction is that either the corner should be dark, or the black part of the wall should be lighter. it does not have to be so light as to compete with the figure but the black is too much.
hope that helps.
good luck.

Nice work! Quite an interesting idea, in the attempt to run away from the annoying sound, we trap ourselves in our own prison and the person/thing we are really running from is ourselves in the first place. Close enough:)? Great work, bring on the festivals;)!
